Abstract
In RTK positioning, a calibration memory stores calibration information for combinations of GNSS receivers. A memory processor retrieves the calibration information for a selected combination of a first GNSS receiver for a base station and a second GNSS receiver for a rover from the calibration memory. A calibration apparatus, by communicating with the rover and the memory processor, receives a first correction signal associated with the first GNSS receiver, obtains the calibration information and modifies the first correction signal therewith to generate a modified correction signal calibrated for the second GNSS receiver with respect to the first GNSS receiver, and transmits the modified correction signal to the rover. The rover performs the RTK positioning with respect to a known GNSS receiver of the base station using the modified correction signal, thereby automatically achieving the frequency-dependent hardware bias calibration for the second GNSS receiver with respect to the first GNSS receiver.
